The Monroe doctrine has been cited as authority for many things, but Lord Salis- bury’s pitiless logic shows that no honest oterpretation of the original meaning ap- plies it to the present case, Canadians will take an amused and contemptous nterest in the interpretation of Seeretary Olney, who not only makes the United States lord and master of the continent,

the hemisphere by the national fiat; but cool y proposes to Lord Salis- bury that the British empire hax 50 right in America. Mr. Olney observes, appar- ently without a realization of the full sig- nificance of his language, that any per- manent political opinion between a Euro- peau and aa American state is “inexped

Coming from a nati meant what it sa.d, such a declaration would Le regarded as a notice to quit Canada, and that would mean a declaration of war. Coming from the United States a few months before an election it cal)s for such an answer as Lord Salisbury gives, when he says that Great Britain wi'l not permit a third party, how- ever great, to dictate terms of settlement of the issue between Venezuela and the British empire, t hat Great Britain does not believe the Monroe doctrine is Sapplic- able to the present situation, and that in any case, Great Britain does not consider herself bound by the declaration of Presi- dent Monroe or his successors in office.

Great Britain. The despatch of Mr. Olney is in its tone and manner as insult- ing as if it had been written by the laie James G. Blaine, and we may add as_il- logical and unreasonable.

what ground can the United States claim to control such independent nations as Brazil, Chili and Mexico, which were settled by Europeans long before the May- flower left the shores of England? We will say nothing of the case of Canada, except that the people. of t's dominion will acknowledge no right on the part of the United States to contro! them in any

way. The claim of sovereignty is therefore not one founded on law yf reason, and the use of uch an expression = 1D a dip'’o

matic note shows that Mr. Qiney was not desirous ot an amicable adjustment of the Venezuelan vuestien, but wished to insult the British aation and to show his coun- trumen what an aggressive patriot he is.

seeking a pretext for war, ani we have no doult that their long search for a cause of quarrel with Great Britain will be duly rewarded, unless in the meantime the rea- sonable people of the United States, who have political ends to serve, should make themeelves heard in the interesi of peace. While nothing better than this note was to be expected from a third-class lawyer like Mr. Olney, we must acknow- ledge great disappo. ntment at the attitude of President Cleveland, who in mo-t re-

he

epects has dealt with foreign affairs in a reasonable spirit. It is evident that he expects the Venezuela difliculty to end in

ljament meets, two weeks hence, it may have a3 more serious question than the Manitoba school difficulty to deal with,

ani the government instead of troubling themselves in regard to remedial legisla- tion may flud it necessary to prepare for the defence of the country. Preach Press and Politic'ans, (Journal des D bats.)

Mr. Cleveland’s language is somewhat unmeasured and undoubtedly places the United States in the alternative of fighting England, however monstrous that might be, or beating an inglorious retreat after yesterday’s bravado. The paper contests the right of the United States to interfere in the Venezuelan di-pute. The Monroe doctrine, it says, cannot be considered by the reat of the world as an international act possessing any value as the law of na- tions. Itis surprised atthe proposal to send a commission to examine the dis- puted boundary in a fvreign coun- try. The Debats further says not- withstanding the unfavorable character of American political customs, it refuses to believe that Mr Cleveland would risk the fortune and honor of Americans for mere political motives. [t hopes and b-i-eves the good sense of Washington and London statesmen will prevent an open rupture between Great Britain aod the United States.

(Ex-Presilent Goblet.)

Ex-Premier Goblet said with reference to President Cleveian i’s message to ecg gress regarding the Venezuela dispute that he considered the President’s pretensions al sviutely noyel in the annals of diplom- acy, He expressed regret that England had refused to submit the boundary que:- tion to arbitration. “During my minis- try,” said M. Goblet, “France gave the ex- ample by submitting a dispute with British Guiana to the arbitration of Ras- sia and accepting without hesitation the decision. which was adverse to her. As regards the Monroe doctrine I can only say it appears absolutely unacceptable to Europe.”

(Le Temps.)

The Temps has atwocolumn editorio on the message which it says is the grav est document signed by an American Pre sident since President Lincoln’s manifesto on the Trent incident. The question ix whether Mr. Cleveland is merely twisting the British lion’s tail or acting seriously. At any rate, Lis action ig without diplo- matic precedent unless such can be found in the annals of the arrogant Roman sen- ate. England refuses arbitration and the United States government declares it will compel England to accept the judzment without appeal. It is impossible for an

Mr. Cleveland has been accused of restricting the meaning of the Monroe dec*rine. In fact, he now stretches it beyond measure. Monroe never imagined such action. Mr. Cleveland’s claim of supreme authority over the whole hemisphere is a claim harmful tothe proteges of the Uvited

States, as Europe and England will not bow to such pretentica. Arbitration has

been greatly harmed in public opinion, yet The incident is one of the -periodical outbursts that had its parallel in the Sackville-West affair. The paper says it wishes and expects a pacific solution of the questions at isene will be found.

United States Press and Politicians,

(Some of the Senators.) The following are the results of views regarding the message : Senator Hoar (republican)—It is less turbid than most of the papers which have

' eminated from the president, and sounds

very much as if it had beea written by some one elre. Senator Frye (republican)-I am de~

myself think that it is a question of inter: ) national nw. {tis really a mere question of fact, like the independence of the United States. The president seems also to have gone to the very verge of safety in stating that he should assent to an amicable agree- ment between Venezuela and Great Britain as to boundaries. We undonbtedly should do so in this instance, but we should equally, of course, not assent to indefinite concessions cf territory by any South Aim- erican country

(In Congress and on the Streets.)

A Washington despatch reports: In the dignified United States senate, a body that rarely exhibits emoricn on any occasion, there was witnessed the unpara'leled epectacle of handclapping and applause, which was the spontaneous eXpreasion of

the approval of alnost every senator, without regard to parity. On the streets, the message was discu:sed and the old

veterans of the late war talked exultantly of what they were prepared again to under

take at the call of the r country. In the great hall of the pension buildings the veterans gathered and sung “The Star

Spangled Banner,” etc

Aithe White Hou e messages poured in from every quarter of country, con gratulating the pre-ident upon his “mes sage. They came from men of all parties and of all stations, and they began to come in after the delivery of the documenta to songress as to afford a substantial tribute of the As*ociatel Press in designating the message throvgh the country, and the great journals which it -erves were issuing special esitions for the

The opinion in diplomatic and the general impression on a sober second consideration of the notes was that the matter has not reached a stage where war is imminent and a hint of Great Britain’s purpose to re-open negotiations with Venezuela looking to settlement of the dispute between themselves, perhap* may be regarded as the mdication as to how the who‘e matter will end.

circles

(The Venezuelan Minister.)

Minister Andrande, of Venezuela, re- ceived a copy of the message and cabled it by way of Cuba and Hayti to his gov- ernment. Mr. Andrande’s satisfaction was almost bevond the power of expres- zion. “Phe message is superb,” said he with much enthusiasm, “It is even a surprise to me ia its vigor, in the nobility of the sentiments expressed, and in the masterly exposure of the Monroe doctrine, There can be no doubt or misconstruction of its meaning, In my country it cannot but arouse the keenest appreciation on the part of the government and the peo- ple for its powerful expression of friend- ship from a strong country in | ehalf of a comparatively weak one.” Mr, Andrande was asked what the next step of Vene- zuela would be. “There is nothing fur- ther for us to do. We have announced our policy, and in that we have the co operation and support of the United States. We are little more than spectators now.” “Is the plan of a commission to investigate the question and fix the line

feasib'e,” the minister was asked. “Per- fectly eo,” he replied. “The evidence can readily be furnished so far as Venezuela

is concerned. It will Le a laborious work. as the documents and maps are very vol-

uminou:s,” (The British Embassy.)

At the British embassy, Sir Julian Panncefote and his official corps shared in the general interest. It was stated that the foreign ofiices made public at noon to-day tne Sali-bury answer, simultan- eous with its publication. Bot as the President’s message ix to Congress, and bas not gone through diplomatic chauneis, it was nota part of the matter given to the British public by the foreign office to-day. Mr. Pax-Com-ides, of the embassy staff, went to the capitol daring the day to witness the reading of the docn- ments, but was not present daring demon- strations in the Senate, Beyond the Salis- bury letters, the embassy has received no communications on the Veneguela ques- tion.

The first announcement in London of the communication of President Cleve- land’s message to congress was made in U. P. despatch to the Central News, the leading features of which the Central News immediately sent to the foreign office, whence they were at once transported to Lord Salisbury at Hatfield house over the Premier’s private wires. This was the first intimation Lord Saliebury bad of President Cleveland’s serious view of the Venezuelan situation. The Premier and his secretaries were greatly concerned over the critical turn the affair had taken and asked for further information.
